Railway network

The group operates a rail network over 582.3 kilometers with 333 stations, both underground (e.g. Namba ( Osaka )) and above ground (e.g. Yamato-Saidaiji ( Nara )), as well as an elevated railway (e.g. . Turmbahnhof Tsuruhashi (Osaka)), which it uses 1970 trains. Kintetsu handles over 610 million passengers annually. Transitions to the important competitors in the Kinki region (for example Hankyū , Hanshin , JR or the subways in the target cities) are guaranteed, partly in coordination with the timetable.

The track network is made up of various types of train such as Local (stops between the start and destination station at each station), Semi-Express (stops at transport hubs and selected stations), Express (stops at transport hubs), Rapid Express (stops at important transport hubs) or Limited -Express ( Urban-Liner ; travels between cities without stopping, stops at the main transport hubs in the start and destination city) used in parallel. Since the track network between stations is usually laid out on two tracks, the slower trains wait in selected four- or multi-track stations for the faster trains to overtake.
